⁣Chaotic purveyors of blistering rock music, Perth’s Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are the epitome of lightning bottled, bringing raucous live shows to audiences around Australia and beyond.⁣
⁣
Since signing with Wildlife Entertainment in the UK (Arctic Monkeys, Royal Blood), the Aussie four-piece have dominated multiple sold out tours across AUS, UK and USA, extensive successes on air and on stage internationally, with Triple J rotation and support from BBC Radio 1 propelling the band onto a global radar. Dominating stages from Groovin’ the Moo through to The Great Escape and SXSW, performing alongside the likes of Interpol and Royal Blood, the band have gone from strength to strength.⁣
⁣
Bringing intoxicating and heady guitars together with hypnotic vocals and insatiable rhythms, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets toe the line of madness and fierce self-awareness with their music, developing into one of Australia’s most in-demand exports.

Currently touring around Europe, drummer Danny Caddy gave us the lowdown on what Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are all about.

If your music was a person, what would their personality be like? Do you have any character that comes to mind?

Our music sounds like a circus troupe of Mighty Boosh characters. Boosh personalities are eccentric, colourful and unpredictable.

What’s the plan for 2019?

This is the year of the tour van for us. We’re currently enjoying the European summer and starting out in the festival scene over here. In the next few months we’ll be heading to Japan, US, Canada, UK and more of the EU. In between times we’ll be working on the next record!

What’s on your music bucket list?

From the beginning it’s always been my goal to headline Glastonbury Festival.

If you had to choose an album title as a quote to live by, which one would it be and why?

Beard, Wives, Denim by Pond. All the essentials for living large.

What is the most bizarre moment you’ve experienced during a performance?

When we put on our very own Dr Noggin Floggin and the Cosmic Toothbrush festival, someone snuck a rooster into the mosh pit. My best cousin Rachel ended up saving the poor chook and adopted it.

If you could perform in a concert with other musicians/bands of your choosing, who would they be?

Morgan Delt, Meatbodies and Frankie and the Witch Fingers…(this is happening in LA at the Regent Theatre minus Frankie!)

What’s on your Spotify playlist at the moment?

We’ve been broadening out our listening in the van – me and Rish have been listening to heaps of bossanova, particularly obsessing over Joao Gilberto’s Amoroso album. I’ve been checking out some Schoenberg, but just yesterday in the other direction we were listening to Earth, Wind and Fire.

If you could talk to your younger self, what advice would you give about the music industry?

Lots of people paint the music industry heads in a bad way because of the famous stories of bands getting stitched up. Whilst some sharks no doubt exist, fans, booking agents, managers and band mates all seem to just want you to be having a good time and to put on a good show. Enjoy meeting new people and they’ll become more like friends than colleagues.

What tips/advice would you share with other artists?

Be prepared, cool, calm and collected, always.

What’s in your gig bag?

I have so many gig bags, most of which are filled with spare parts, so I’ll give you a few of my favourites:
– Custom moulded Audioflys along with a spare set of 140s (just in case!).
– Tunebot, for when house music or any other disturbances are making tuning by ear a hassle
– Coles Cooler bag… for storing the rider for tomorrow’s breakfast!

Why do you use Audiofly IEMs?

Having a local Perth team working on my in ear monitors was a no brainer. The team at Audiofly are lovely, and the products are top shelf. When I played for the first time with a great stereo monitor mix paired with my IEM’s, it was a total game changer.
